Baton Rouge, La. – In celebration of Doctors’ Day on March 30, Baton Rouge General launched a community-wide social media campaign to honor doctors in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. With more than 1,000 Likes, 156 Comments, 30 Shares and a reach of over 60,000, the campaign was a huge success!

“We are privileged to have some of the most skilled physicians in the country practice medicine at Baton Rouge General and we want to tell them how much they mean to our Community of Caring” says President and CEO Mark F. Slyter.

Beginning Monday, March 24 Baton Rouge General posted pictures and comments on their Facebook page daily, inviting the community to share stories about their favorite doctor or just say thanks. The positive response was heartfelt…

“Happy doctors’ day to all doctors! You are the backbone to our communities with the best knowledge for all who depend on your expertise! Thank you and God bless you and your families.”

Others extended their thanks to “all the nurses & doctors in the ER on the night of March 16th who saved my daddy's life when his heart stopped & I thought I lost him... The immediate care my daddy received & the kindness extended to my mom & I meant the world to us.”

Baton Rouge General Employees, visitors and patients were invited to sign an enormous 7x5 ft. Doctors’ Day card that was stationed near the entry of the cafeterias at the Mid City and Bluebonnet campus.

The campaign wrapped on Monday, March 31 as all physicians were invited to a special lunch in honor of their commitment to providing compassionate, innovative, quality care to the community.
